Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Times of St. Patrick It was a town in Strath Clyde, and almost cer tainly identical with the modern Dumbarton. That it was a Roman town and of some import ance, we gather from the fact that it had a 0 municipal council, Patrick'sfather, C'alpurnius, having been a town councillor. Born before clerical celibacy had become the fashion, Patrick came of a clerical stock, his father, al though a town councillor, having been a deacon, and his grandfather a p-resbyter, whilst his mother is alleged to have been sister to a bishop. How or when Christianity had reached that part of the world is not known; but from the prevailing type of it found there, high authorities hold that it was introduced by Christian soldiers from Gaul in. The Roman army of occupation. On his father's farm of sixteen acres it is believed that Patrick lived' till he was sixteen. He had got a religious training both from his parents and Christian pastors, but tells us frankly that he knew not the true God, and also acknowledges that.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Legend of St. Patrick, Apostle of Erin And seeing the line dangling, Guessed his Saintship was angling, Aimed a blow at his skull which he happened to miss, And got an immersion Through over exertion, Falling into the lake with a terrible hiss. Ho, ho! Cried Saint Patrick, Had I received that lick, 'twould have hashed all my mutton, - Anathema sis! Be that as it may, 'twas a thundering knock Tempted Patrick to say, at eleven o'clock, Who the devil is there? Though the saint dld not swear, But did, as the French say, the very contraire, For he muttered a blessing While hurriedly dressing, And then, With serenity worthy all praise, He sought to discover his Bryant and May's, Then a recent invention, but lately brought over By a sailor named Murphy who traded to Dover.

Download or read book St Patrick written by Newport J. D. White and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Patrick: His Writings and Life These documents bear the stamp of genuineness upon them as plainly as does the Epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians or the Second to the Corinthians. If the reader will only take them for what they profess to be-r-take them at their word - they will repay study as human documents, though they may not constitute any contribution to theology, or make any appeal to the intellect or to the aesthetic faculty. The first thing to note about them is the fact that the literary criticism of their contents reveals nothing that is inconsistent with the supposition that they were written by a man who lived between a.d. 389 and a.d. 461, the dates of St. Patrick's birth and death according to the most recent calculations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legends of Saint Patrick Tudor should be read by all who have read Tennyson's play on the same subject. The gift of genius passed from Sir Aubrey to his third son, Aubrey Thomas de Vere, who was born in 1814, and through a long life has put into music only noble thoughts associated with the love of God and man, and of his native land; -his first work, published forty-seven years ago, was a lyrical piece, in which he gave his sympathy to devout and per scouted men whose ways of thought were not his own. Aubrey de Vere's poems have been from time to time revised by himself, and they were in 1884 finally collected into three volumes, pub lished by Messrs. Kegan Paul. Left free to choose from among their various contents, I have taken this little book of Legends of St. Patrick, first published in 187 2, but in so doing I have un willingly left many a piece that would please many a reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of St. Patrick: And His Place in History Perhaps the scope of this book will be best understood if I explain that the subject attracted my attention, not as an important crisis in the history of Ireland, but, in the first place, as an appendix to the history of the Roman Empire, illustrating the emanations of its influence beyond its own frontiers; and, in the second place, as a notable episode in the series of conversions which, spread over northern Europe the religion which prevails to-day. Studying the work of the Slavonic apostles, Cyril and Methodius, I was led to compare them with other European missionaries, Wulfilas, for instance, and Augustine, Boniface, and Otto of Bamberg. When I came to Patrick, I found it impossible to gain any clear conception of the man and his work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book St Patrick at Tara written by Henry Morse Stephens and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Patrick at Tara: A Forest Play Play, or to defend in a work, which is avowedly imaginative, though based on historical sources and deductions, my views on early Irish civilization and religion. The antiquity of the legends of St. Patrick, such as those of the lighting of the Paschal fire on the Beltane feast, of the contest with the druids and of the raising of the ghost of Cuchulainn, is very great, and they are characteristic of the cen turies of the spread of Christianity, in which they arose. The dif ficulties, which St. Patrick is represented as meeting and the way in which he met them, can be illustrated from the lives of many missionaries. The story of the spread of Christianity under the wing of Rome is the most important subject in the history of modem civilization, and I make no apology in dealing with it in a serious vein at a gathering of the ower of the most modern and most recently founded civilization in the world, that of California. The Bohemian Club of San Francisco stands for the most characteristic manifestation of this most western, American, California civilization in its Grove Play, and to the members of the Club at their annual outing, the traditional High Jinks, this study of the life and work of the patron saint of Ireland, the home of the most western, European, Celtic civilization, is now offered.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick It is a curious fact that although the thirteen rules (mark the prophetic significance here Of the mystic thirteen so closely identified with the Republic's beginnings ) set forth in detail the dates for the society's meetings - the qualifications for member ship. The design for the gold medal with which each member was to provide himself. The amount of the fines that should be levied for failure to appear with that medal at the annual and other meetings, the qualifications for honorary membership and the privileges Of such members - no mention whatever is made Of the charitable Objects Of the society; yet the wish and the deter mination to furnish assistance and comfort to their fellows Of Celtic blood.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Writings of St. Patrick: With Appendices, Etc Our chief purpose in writing this new Life of St Patrick, when so many Lives already exist, is to give a fuller and, we venture to hope, more exact account of the Saint's missionary labours in Ireland than any that has appeared since the Tripartite Life was first written. For this purpose we have not only thoroughly studied Colgan's great work, and made ourselves familiar with the really valuable publications of our own times, but we have, when practicable, personally visited all the scenes of the Saint's labours, both at home and abroad, so as to be able to give a local colouring to the dry record, and also to catch up, as far as possible the echoes, daily growing fainter, of the once vivid traditions of the past, We have no new views to put forward. We shall seek to follow the authority of the ancient writers of the Acts of St. Patrick, which we regard as in the main trustworthy. Those who do not like miracles can pass them over, but the ancient writers believed in them, and even when purely imaginary these miraculous stories have an historical and critical value of their own. We find it convenient to classify our authorities into three divisions. The Ancient authorities are those that flourished before the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland, that is before A.D. 1172. The mediaeval authorities will include all those who make reference to St Patrick's Acts down to the beginning of the 17th century. The Modern authorities will comprehend the rest, including Colgan and Usher, who have written from that date (A.D. 1600) to the present time.
